Jerusalem exchange
Reciprocal residency programs in which Jerusalem artists and partner centers come together for a period of research and development of new dance creation. The program is held in collaboration with several centers in Europe.
The program enables connections between veteran and emerging Jerusalem artists and artists from around the world through exchanges. The program exposes the artists to a dance scene that exists in another country, where the artists will reside, work in a studio, and present work in progress, which will form fertile ground for a new creative process.
The selection of creators for the program does not follow a uniform format. Some of our partners select the creators after the submission of a research proposal from the Jerusalem creators, and there are dance centers that allow the artistic management of the Shalem Dance Center to exercise its discretion. In these cases, we try to give as many creators as possible the opportunity to take part in the program, in accordance with the nature of the partner center. Among the creators who took part in the program: Maayan Libman Sharon, Mia Popova, Yael Idan, Annabel Dvir, Avidan Ben Giat, Tzlil Efrat, Talia Shalom, Adam Shapira, Smadar Goshen, Sophie Kranz.
מופע מחול לילדים וילדות
In 2021, the center produced three new dance works by Neta Polbermacher, Rachel Erdos, and Inbal Aloni, which will premiere with professional guidance from Adi Navon in the field of autism.
The project is sponsored by the HaPais Council for Culture and the Arts and the Jerusalem Municipality.
